DRIVEN TO A CORNER,

Francisco Chronicle to print, if it dared"
the prices charged to parents for school
books under the old and under the new
systems. After more than week of
paralysis the Chronicle replies, but in a
manner hatexcites commiseration. Driven
to its trenches, our contemporary has no
answer except the dogmatic one-having
said the horse was sixteen feet in hight, he

Woman Suffrage VS.. llliteracy.

The statistics of illiteracy given by
Senator ingalls, are, when fairly stated,
among the strongest arguments for the
enfranchisement of women.
1t appears, from the census, that, of
the colored women, % 40 per cent.
can read and write, numbering 1856, 260,
and, of the white women, SO per cent.
can read and write, numbering 8, 464,-
794, making total of women who can
read and write, 9,801, 054. The litter
ate women number 1925, 553, leaving
a majority of educated women, 1926
sol.
AS Senator Ingalls, regards l,90S, $40
male illiterates as "a menace to the
perpetuity and stability of free popu-
lar government" he ought to urge the
Sixteenth Amendment, which will en-
franchise nearly ten million educated
women. These, after neutralizing
both the male and female illiteracy at
the polls, will bring an educated ma
jolity of 5,6l6,691 women, nearly six
million, to add to the educated male
voters. Since, in each sex, there is an
intelli gent majority, by uniting these
majorities the influence of the illiterate
minority will be vastly diminished

A Woman's Heroism.

A special to the New York World,
dated New Haven, September l, says
that w. C. Munson, New York
broker, who has been stopping at the
Bradford Point House for some days,
took Miss Oliver of New York. another
guest of the hotel, out rowing a few
days since. When the shore was left
behind he overturned the boat. Miss
Oliver, who is good swimmer, struck
out for the shore, and succeeded in
reaching it. Munson could not swim,
and was in great peril. Miss Parkin-
son, young Philadelphia lady, saw
his predicament from the shore, and
pulled out to where the broker had
just disappeared. As he came up for
the last time Miss Parkinson seized
him by the collar and dragged him
into the boat,

Useful and Dainty Articles for Both
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Wooden fichus for cold weather are
very desirable, and sometimes add
greatly to a hurried morning toilet.
They are made somewhat in the shape
of scarf, only pointed at the back to
reach the waist and long enough in
front to tie back about the waist if de-
sired. The prettiest of these are made
of soft merino, either white, crimson
or blue, and are finished with deep
hem of feather-stich and a crochet
edging of the same color. Some of
the warmest are made of very heavy
blanket flannel and bound in bright
ribbon, while even palmer, though
very useful ones, are made of dark
canton flannel. A yard and half of
material, thirty inches wide, will make
full-sized one.
Dainty little opera or party wraps
are now made at n trifing expense.
A pretty one for young lady is made
out of a piece of white elder down
cloth, two yards square This is lined
with thin, rose-colored silk, the fluffy
side left out and is bordered with
swan s-down. One side is formed
into hood. This is done by doubling
the side to the center and measuring
off half yard down each side from
it. A wide, pink ribbon, or an elastic,
which is better, forms this into hood
about the face, and a ribbon is also
fastened about the neck OF the hood.
A large bow of pink ribbon orna-
ments the top.
A slipper and glove bag to 60 with
such cloak is made out of pink satin,
lined with white canton flannel and
bordered with swan's-down. These
little bags are very useful. as well as
ornamental, and save the loss of many
fans, handkerchiefs and gloves. A
tiny comb and powder puff, pins and a
needle and thread can also be carried
in them, and how useful are all of these

every one who has been to a ball or
party can easily testify.
The newest shaving cases are made of
velvet or plush in the shape of little
book; brown and dark-green are the
fAorite colors, and the name of the
owner S embroidered in old English
script on the outside. The inside is
lined with satin of some bright color,
and the shaving is of cream color or
pure white tissue highly perfumed. A

the strop and other implements is

A horse OF different color; don't worry
BE sure that your sins will some day find YOU

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
Women at Primary Meetings.

If it were understood that, in every
ward and neighborhood the adult pop
ulation-the whole of them. men and
women-were to control the primary
meetings, there would be no more
trouble i'll these meetings than there is
in our households. The restraint, the
refining influence of women, would
make that orderly which is now like
the tussling of dogs. And that which is
true of primary meeting is still more
significantly true of Legislatures and
National assemblies. Woman's influ-
ence, if introduced into public affairs,
would work in the same direction
there that it has worked, and is work.
ing, in social life, in literature and re-

1t strikes many, before reflection.
and none more than women them
selves, that participation in suffrage
would subject them to rudencss, and

AS if that very rudeness were not the
result of woman's absence! AS if it
were not her very Office to carry with
her whatever is seemly and decorous!

there would be an end of indecent
vo;ing-places. The polls W uld nc
